I don't think it's overpriced, ~$8 per month for email, online storage, web gallery, etc for 5 people ain't bad at all.

What I want out of MobileMe is the ability to sync bookmarks with Firefox! It can only sync with Safari and Internet Explorer on Windows. Utterly silly, but true.

That's true, but the only thing I use it for is email, and some online storage. I suppose I should get with the times and start putting all my pictures on the web and sync all of those system settings, but I just don't have the energy for that anymore nor do I see the use for a lot of that myself.
 
It's not that I want to leave because it doesn't work with IE6, or "work wherever I am", but rather that I think MobileMe/Mac.com is overpriced. It didn't look that way five years ago when I first subscribed to it, but it really seems like that now. The only problem with switching is that my entire family would need to go through the taxing process of switching five-year-old addresses.

True, which is why I hope Apple doesn't make the service pure garbage. I was thinking of dumping it when I did have separate services to do all that it does, but now that it works fine and is cheaper I am stuck.

I get you though, the $149 is kinda steep, and you always have to ask yourself if you are really using all the services to their full potential, since most of them can be had for free and still work effectively with the Mac.
 
Does anyone have any positive updates regarding MobileMe and IE7? One of my jobs uses PCs with IE7 and doesn't allow us to download any apps. So I'm stuck with it. MobileMe is my primary webmail access, and I like it. But am bummed I can't check mail at work (and iphones aren't allowed). Any suggestions?

IE7 at my work and the MobileMe website works very slowly, but fine.
